Cloud arms race buys Intel time, massive profits, but indigestion likely
Intel is the semiconductor leader with franchises such as the Xeon, Core and Atom processor lines. The chip giant is the market share leader and has been steadfast in its argument that manufacturing is a difference maker for the company. Intel is currently riding the PC and server upgrade cycles.
Ten years old today.
To deploy 5G software successfully requires fast open-source technology on the cloud, and Intel and Google are teaming up to make that happen.

Instead of replacing a big old tower PC with an equally massive new one, why not choose one of these four alternatives?
The chipmaker is suddenly campaigning for Windows PCs. Now why would it do that?
The announcement comes a fortnight after the company appointed Pat Gelsinger as CEO.
Largest of the US chipmaker's assembly and test sites, Intel Products Vietnam had shipped more than 2 billion units last year and saw enhancements made to its manufacturing capabilities of Intel's 5G, 10th Gen Core, and Core with hybrid technology.
Even if Gelsinger can fix Intel’s manufacturing problems, many believe the company will continue to trail Taiwan Semiconductor in the company’s overall ability.
Gelsinger said it's likely Intel will expand use of outside facilities for some manufacturing. "Overall, we're on a very good path now," said Gelsinger.
The chip giant said demand “remains very strong.” It is the company's last report under CEO Bob Swan as he passes the baton to Pat Gelsinger.
As education devices go Chromebook, laptop makers are diversifying the processors powering laptops.
What will be the impact of VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger stepping into the role of Intel CEO? There's reason for optimism.
Intel has had its stumbles of late and Gelsinger would have to fix manufacturing issues and fend off competition from AMD, Nvidia and the Arm ecosystem.

Let's kick off this series by looking at processors and motherboards in three different price categories.
Motorola's first Intel-powered Android handset will be making its way to Europe in October for an as-yet undisclosed sum, but can it take on its ARM-based rivals?
The Next Unit of Computing (NUC) boards see Intel target consumers and retailers with a low-cost PC that still packs an Ivy Bridge punch.
Coke machines, a psychologist, and futuristic grocery shopping combine with Intel's usual display of new chip and hardware technology at the Intel Developer Forum from San Francisco.
The Grand X IN will be the first Intel-powered smartphone to be released in Europe by a manufacturer, rather than an operator.
Dell has done a lot more than simply upgrade the PowerEdge T320 to the new Xeon E5-2400 processor. Memory and storage also get a huge boost, and there's optional iDRAC 7 management and an embedded hypervisor option, making this a real SME power platform.
Intel's Ivy Bridge CPUs are now on sale so it's time to look at putting together a system based around this new and exciting silicon.

Apple’s recent move to redesign its Mac computers around chips that it fabricates for itself, replacing Intel, has cast a new spotlight around a class of processor that there’s a very good chance you own right now.
Maybe the news of Apple shifting its Mac CPUs from Intel to its own ARM64 architecture seemed subdued by the upheavals going on in the world today. Or perhaps, just perhaps, this is one of those changes: Not only a move to a more efficient processor, but also a more sustainable supply chain. It may be the smartest move yet, and not just from Apple. ZDNet’s Scott Fulton explains. Read more: https://zd.net/2OZC3J9

Intel CSME bug is worse than previously thought. Only the latest Intel 10th generation CPUs are not affected.
Dell has done a lot more than simply upgrade the PowerEdge T320 to the new Xeon E5-2400 processor. Memory and storage also get a huge boost, and there's optional iDRAC 7 management and an embedded hypervisor option, making this a real SME power platform.
If you're shopping at the premium end of the business desktop market, you'll be hard-pressed to do better than the Dell OptiPlex 960.
Despite its strong performance, the tacky design and inflated price leaves the Toshiba Tecra R10 behind the competition.
Beautifully designed and reassuringly robust, the 1.5kg VAIO Z11 marries a decent-sized 13.1-inch screen with good portability. It's not flawless, but if you can afford it, you won't be disappointed.
The HP Compaq 6730b is a reasonable but uninteresting business notebook. Unfortunately the competition — and even HP — are offering much better systems at a comparative or lower price.
Panasonic has created a new paradigm in rugged notebooks with the CF-U1, which is a nice balance between portability and functionality. However businesses should be aware of its limited performance, and note that protection comes at a premium price.
A solid business laptop with excellent battery life, the EliteBook 6930p won't disappoint, but there is little in this laptop to warrant the 'Elite' label.
Asus packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, with some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises.
Asus' TS500 offers reliability, speed and efficiency at a low price for a mid-range tower server. However, case design is not ideal, and the system strangely requires a PS2 keyboard and mouse.
Fujitsu's foray into Centrino 2 laptops is solid, but the competition is offering more features at a lower price.
The Lenovo A57 is a well-priced office desktop with a strong performance. While very similar to its smaller sibling, the M57e, the A57 offers better performance and upgrade options for a small price increase.
The Lenovo M57 eco is a small form-factor desktop that is promoted by the company as energy efficient. We found it to be a capable and powerful office performer for its size, but with limited upgrade options.
The P4 strikes us as a good, reliable machine with plenty of features. Despite its conservative appearance there is modern technology inside, providing solid performance.
